Walker promised to create 250,000 private-sector jobs in Wisconsin by 2015. According to an April analysis by Politifact, 5,900 jobs have been created since Walker took office. Still, 54 percent of those who voted in the recall election approved of how Walker has handled job creation, while 45 percent disapproved.

What are the democrats screeching about. He still has three years to accomplish that feat.

I think the USPS could do surprisingly well if freed from the leash.

The public unionization that scares me the most is the teaching profession. Those people who shape the next generation are bombarded with some of the worst immoral Marxist agitprop of all.

Considering the amount of national job creation under Mr. Obama’s watch, 5,900 in a single state sounds pretty good.

Voters in Wisconsin also give President Obama the edge on improving the economy -- 42 percent said he would do a better job on that issue, compared to 38 percent who picked Romney.

Looks as if it's going to take a bit longer until these folks see the reality of obama. They are still buying the HOPE thing.

When I worked at the US Postal Service in the 1980s, I'd say that most of my union coworkers I knew well were strong Reagan supporters.

I dare say that most of today's USPS workers couldn't even spell 'Reagan.'

This idiot actually gets paid to write drivel like this?

Those lines from the article would make the author's "journalism" professor very happy.

"I thought all union members were thugs." hint of /s

Point well taken and correct. Myself a 7 year Teamster, in a bad a** local. At least half held to "conservative" values, some even further right.

Of course that made us a contradiction in our circle of conservative acquaintances. Left a bitter taste in my Father's mouth.

Have no doubt will leave a bitter taste in some readers here

Fox says union households went for Walker by 38%.

5,900 in a single state sounds pretty good.

Ya, and Obana will try to take credit for that.

[LibLieSlayer]

My intent was not to demean but to point out that much more must be done to save the Republic. Wisconsin was one of a very few bright spots for those that love this Republic. I did not mean to denigrate the outcome there... just that 71% marxists is still WAY too high.

“What are the democrats screeching about. He still has three years to accomplish that feat.”

I heard Schultz and Madcow talking about this last night. Schultz sounded like Donald Duck saying how Walkwer promised 250,000 jobs and the state hasn’t seen it.

The conservative blind spot on conservative union members is a serious failing on the part of the GOP. After all, the heart of the Reagan democrats were Michigan union members.

It irritated the hell out of me that Mitt Romney attacked Rick Santorum for openly appealing to union members in Michigan. At least he didn’t try to hide it like Romney who had people going door to door in Detroit doing exactly the same. It further irritated me to see Rick Snyder whining about Santorum’s “dirty tricks” when Snyder himself was nominated and elected largely by union members.

Exhibit A:

The number of public union members who declined to pay dues money when that money was no longer being forcible deducted from their paychecks.

No further questions.

Public employee Unions present a serious conflict of interest and the public schools have suffered the most from that conflict. Children don’t vote and their parents have been demonized by the unions.
